Just did a Google to find out more on this.

Fire does seem to be the final straw for many an ailing slope. I also just read on Facebook that Snow+Rock were in the process of moving out. |

| Insensitive, potentially libellous, comment removed. This was probably not an insurance job. Honest. |

No one hurt thankfully by the sound of things, but certainly does seem a bit fishy  |

| It's probably a good idea to hear facts before making potentially libellous comments... |

Awwwwww, Charlie! 
This is teh internetz, people say stuff all the time that's potentially libellous! However, you make a fair point, so I shall retract my rather insenstitive comment and apologise to the people who have lost their livelihoods/jobs etc as a result of this horrible event. |

| Very Sad news indeed. In 1998 I first strapped on a snowboard there and was hooked. |

People can also get sent to jail for finding alternative solutions to an "ailing slope". That was my immediate thought when I read the news, but seeing as its already been suggested/removed, I won't go there again  |

| To be fair the local scrotes have been burning bits of it down for years so it was probably just that. |

When I did the initial Google for the fire it came up with quite a few different incidents. Previous fires have been on the slope itself or on the adventure playground part.
I can't see them coming back from this I'm afraid. They're in-between CFe, Tam and Cas. |
